Question

A cylinder has a diameter of 10 and a height of 12 what is the volume of the cylinder give an exact answer or approximation to three decimals

Answer 1

STEP - BY - STEP EXPLANATION

What to find?

Volume of a cylinder.

Given:

Diameter = 10

Height = 12

Step 1

Recall the formula for volume of a cylinder.

`Volume=\pi r^2h`

Where r is the radius and h is the height.

Step 2

Determine the height and radius of the cylinder.

From the question, we already know that the height (h) = 12

`\begin{gathered} Radius=(Diameter)/(2) \\ \\ =(10)/(2) \\ \\ =5 \end{gathered}`

π=3.14

Step 3

Substitute the values into the formula.

`Volume=3.14159265359*5^2*12`
`\approx942.478`

ANSWER

942.478 cubic units.
